We don't execute prisoners in Texas unless they are given the death penalty by the jury!



One of the few times the insanity defense worked for a defendant.....

I agree...I wish we had a guilty but insane option in Texas..She clearly demonstrated she knew what she did was wrong by her call to 911...but she was also clearly insane..Her husband has my contempt..

Whoops...... my bad

The jury didn't accept the insanity defense and found her guilty of capital murder but chose life rather than death... sheesh don't know what I was thinking. I guess it was about the one up in East Texas that killed her children with rocks... I think that jury bought the insanity defense.
